04Rear-End, Minimal Vehicle Damage · Denver
Full policy limits$25,000
Prior offer$11,222
The bumper repair estimate was about $1,600. The insurer used that to try to minimize the value of our client's injuries and offered exactly what the medical bills came to, $11,222, and not a dollar more. Her first firm did not want to litigate.
We took over in late April. Within about a week we sent a demand for the full $25,000 policy limits with a 14-day deadline and a lawsuit behind it. The insurer paid within the deadline.

Same policy limits. A smaller share of them goes to the lawyer.
"Low property damage does not mean low injury. It means the insurer thinks you won't sue."
